Although we eat more salmon than any other fish around here, I did use this rub on cod & was very pleased with the results, & it has prompted me to keep on hand several seasonings that I normally don't use! Definitely something I'll be making again! [Made & reviewed during ZWT6 for Family Picks]

5 stars for an authentic list of British ingredients before I even tasted this. I love any recipe that uses savory, an underused herb in my opinion. My only concern was the amount of salt, but I cut it right back to personal taste. I made this with fresh summer savory as I don't have any dried - yet! I used last year's dried lavender and thyme, with fresh chives as listed. I put a cod steak in the rub for 30 minutes, before pan frying it in olive oil and serving it with Recipe #428549 and Recipe #359623 for a very flavoursome and satisfying light lunch. I made half of the amount, and I will cut back on the lavender next time, as dried lavender can be quite pungent! Not by much, just 1/4 teaspoon. An unusual and extremely tasty rub, I can see this working well with chicken and pork too. Thanks so much for posting this unique recipe, it made me smile whilst I prepared it, to use such beautiful scented herbs for later tactile eating was a joy! Made for the Seafood Wild Card Challenge and ZWT6, for the Whine and Cheese Gang. FT:-)
